Romney Contradicted Himself in Two Sentences

"This week, President Obama will release a budget that won’t take any meaningful steps toward solving our entitlement crisis. The president has failed to offer a single serious idea to save Social Security and is the only president in modern history to cut Medicare benefits for seniors."

Good gravy. What a flailing, misguided mess. In just two back-to-back sentences he attacked entitlement spending in the president's budget, and then attacked entitlement spending cuts.

I sincerely hope that, when it comes to this topic in the coming presidential debates, Obama will drag Politifact back into the fray to mention how they lost any shimmer of credibility when they called him a (half-?) liar on Repub’s wanting to kill medicare.

These are the facts:

1. Romney, along with almost every other R out there, has endorsed Paul Ryan’s draconian budget plan for austerity.

2. That plan, just like every other modern R plan put forward, would privatize medicare by turning it into a voucher system where each elderly recipient gets a woefully insufficient check to pay for their medical needs.

And any pundits who manage to put down the both sides-crackpipe for long enough will have to admit that this is true.
